Wozu Early Access?

„I've always developed my small games out in the open with public builds available for feedback. While Tiny Combat Arena is bigger than any game I've made before, it will be no different. Now that the majority of the core gameplay is playable, what's left are the areas of the game that benefit most from community feedback and involvement.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„The current plan is to remain in early access for 12-18 months. However, this is not set in stone and the timeline may be extended in order to implement fixes and features based on community feedback.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„Content: New scenarios, vehicles, anti-aircraft, new weapons, custom loadouts, a more detailed world, and more based on community feedback.
Polish: There are plenty of areas of the game right now that are functional, but could look or work better. The launch of the game should be as bug free, performant, smooth, and polished as possible.
Ease of Use: A major goal I have for the game is to make it easy for new players to get into. This area is the part that I think will need the most development, since it will include things such as UI, control scheme tweaks, configurable gameplay options, difficulty options, and fleshing out the ingame Database.
Customizable Loadouts: This is one of my favorite features of flight sims, allowing you to fine tune your weapon set for a specific mission.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The current game has almost all of the gameplay features together, but lacks content and polish. At launch there will be:

• One flyable aircraft (AV8B)
  
• One instant action map
  
• One Arena map/scenario
  
• Limited, but representative set of 5 weapons
  
• Limited, but representative presets for loadouts

“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„The price of the game will increase as we add more content and features, and when we leave early access. We will alert our followers ahead of time of any incoming price increase.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„From the beginning I've wanted Tiny Combat Arena to be an accessible entry point into the flight simulation genre. Finding how best to create a polished experience with as minimal a barrier to entry as possible, is where feedback from you, the community is most valuable. On another front, I want to get the community involved as early as possible to help make the creation of community created content as easy as is practical.“
